Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes...
... and should just support that, you know, and be faithful in what happens.

-- Britney Spears, 2003 and DU, 2009

15. No, not everyone
I don't want to call out any individuals, but look around today -- or any day -- to see all the posts saying:

* I still trust MY PRESIDENT!!!!
* STFU, naysayers!!!!
* Whatever disappointing thing Obama does is actually brilliant 11-dimensional chess
* Our job is to watch Obama's back

18. How dare DUers post supportive things about Obama!
I think that is what separates us from the republicans--our ability to think beyond simple black and white.

I believe it is possible to both support Obama and to be critical of some of his policy decisions.

19. Alas, a great many are incapable of criticizing or hearing the criticism
Almost any critical post, regardless of how fact-based and founded in progressive values, will receive many down-ratings.

2. Where the fuck do you come off comparing DUers to Britney Spears?
Nice flamebait and you sound just like some of the other empty headed critics on DU who slam Obama without substance to your post.

I'm all for being critical of Obama's policies, as long as those critiques are valid and at least half way thought out.

3. I think we should just piss and moan on a site like DU and accomplish nothing
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 09:29 AM by stray cat
and bask in an illusion of self-righteousness in our wisdom and refusal to sacrifice our valuable time doing something constructive. Unlike those who are actually working to bring it to pass.

7. I can't believe you're still around
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 09:42 AM by sharp_stick
Can't find a site that you actually could support or do you just like bitching and moaning about everything and trying to post flamebait?

on edit: another post that really makes me happy to have the unrec feature. I do wish we could count them though, this <0 isn't as much fun as knowing how many people find a post idiotic.

17. It's more fun to get everyone in an uproar
Piss people off that you disagree with AND get attention for it, a win-win situation.

Ignore them and they will go away.

11. That's what the Republicans did with Bush
I think we need to pressure Obama to keep his decisions principled, rather than politically expedient.I voted for Obama not because I like him, but because I think his goals are good for the country. If he sways from those goals and we blindly stand by him, then we risk doing harm to the country the same way the Republicans did under Bush.
